About
The company was started by Eric Hoshooley in 1993 when he was just 13 years old. Looking for something fun to do he had always enjoyed helping the DJ’s at his elementary school dances, so he decided to try it for himself. 25 years later, ThunderStorm Productions has become one of the region’s leading DJ companies.
“We’ve been involved in weddings as small as 20 and as large as 1000,” says Eric. “We are well versed in lighting/sound/music and have a great technical background and have been involved in many aspects of the wedding industry,” he says, adding that they also keep on top of trends and keep in contact with many local vendors to get the pulse.
Having DJ’d over 800 weddings, Eric still gets excited when he watches a crowd of people at a wedding jump up and down, sing along and smile because they’re having a great time.
“Because of the music and feeling we are putting into a room brings us so much energy. A good room get us going better and better always wanting to get to that next party,” admits Eric.
Products & Services
“Our most popular product is our DJ service of course, but our new Fun Foods division has really been growing, both for weddings and other parties,” says Eric. “We now carry popcorn, cotton candy, slushies and soft serve ice cream. We think this is all due to our reputation of going above and beyond and being friendly and helpful. A one stop shop for entertainment”

When Gaby was looking to book a DJ for her Stag & Doe and wedding, she felt very overwhelmed, but when she met Eric she felt relieved. “He was the only one who took time out of his day and answered all my silly questions both on the phone and email,” she says, describing Eric as very personable. “He had so much knowledge about the wedding day and stag and doe day that I wouldn’t have thought of.”
Eric believes that brides choose ThunderStorm Productions because of the team’s personalities.
“We are so much fun! We love to joke around, we love to laugh, everyone comes by our booth at wedding shows and everyone is smiling, our guests are laughing, we want it to be fun!”
ThunderStorm Productions is described as very fun, interactive, entertaining and of course knowledgeable – in music, lighting, and sound.
A fellow member of the wedding industry, Michelle Maeck from Maeck Weddings admits she loves working with Eric and his team.
“Their level of professionalism is second to none! Eric is flexible, friendly and knows how to keep the dance floor going throughout a wedding or event,” says Michelle. She describes their services as customizable. “They tailor their DJ-ing and extras to each and every couple that we work with making sure that each weddings reception and after party is unique to the couple.”

Live streaming
Prior to March 2020, live streaming a wedding ceremony was gaining in popularity. It was a common choice for engaged couples who elected to host a destination wedding or elopement, or for those couples who had loved ones who couldn’t be present for medical reasons. With COVID-19’s dramatic impact on wedding guest lists, many couples turned to virtual streaming to ensure that everyone could witness their love.
“We provide multiple angle high-def video and an on-site sound system so that both your in-person and your online guests can witness your carefully planned ceremony. We will also provide a microphone for your officiant, so your guests don’t miss a word of your vows. As always, we’ll provide the ceremony music you selected.”
